lavender heart
~b/c i forgot to upload the photo when I spoke of it the other day.
Not the best photos but you get the idea. The heart is based on the elongated ones you sometimes see in Arts & Crafts style. Made from scraps of quilter's calico. The front had red heart-shaped buttons stitched to it to create a heart-shaped centre panel. The back is hand stiched with single strand of embroidery floss. The design is the same allover hearts I quilted on 'Spring Sanctuary', only reduced in scale. I liked it stitched but thought it might look more obvious with a little colour. Out came the versacraft ink pads and a fine brush.
Stuffed with dried lavendar, a red ribbon to hang it, and a couple beads on the point to finish. Smells wonderful!
